Scalable & Heterogeneous Computing Architectures
The demands of modern industrial devices and autonomous systems have long exceeded the capacity of any single processor type. We use deterministic microcontrollers (Cortex-M) for demanding real-time control algorithms, powerful application processors (Cortex-A) for rich UIs, networking and AI inference, bridging these two worlds on the same silicon (SoC) via Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) and reliable IPC/RPMsg protocols.
Deterministic Network Architecture
EtherCAT + Hard Real-Time RTOS
For motor control and multi-axis lines we design EtherCAT and the real-time OS together: cycle time, latency distribution and packet loss are measured on the bench and reported with the setup.
Secure BSP Ecosystem
Yocto + Secure Boot + OTA
A kernel and image stripped of unneeded packages for custom boards, boot time measured and cut stage by stage, a secure boot chain, SBOM generation, full control of the bootloader and a safe OTA update path.
Edge Computing and Sensor Fusion
TensorRT + CUDA + Sensor Fusion
Hardware-accelerated real-time vision for autonomous C-UAS, railway obstacle detection and industrial quality control: INT8 quantisation, offloading to the Jetson DLA and fusing multi-sensor data.
Command and Control and HMI
Qt/QML + C++17 + Telemetry
Touchscreen interfaces for defence and industrial systems, real-time telemetry dashboards and a C++17 back end, running directly on embedded displays through EGLFS or Wayland.
Low-Latency Video and C2
WebRTC + GStreamer + HW Encode
Multi-sensor video from tactical units to command centres, with the latency budget defined and measured glass to glass. Secure UDP transport on air-gapped networks, hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 and multi-source synchronisation.
Tactical Autonomous Communication
ROS2 + DDS + MQTT
Message distribution for autonomous swarms and intermittent networks: low-latency publish-subscribe with ROS 2/DDS, telemetry collection over MQTT and secure transport protocols for closed networks.

Let's evaluate your project's heterogeneous architecture requirements, power budget and regulatory constraints together.
